    Ok guys, another one of these threads:o. This dress has me a little stumped, its for a family wedding in mid August, I'm going with black sandals and a black clutch but I am at a loss for what jewelry to go for.
    Its not your typical summer wedding dress, but I fell in love with it, I think it depends on the accessories whether or not it could look a little bit ... "christmassy"... hope that makes sense!:P

    My first instinct would be a simple silver chain with a slight drop / pendant and simple silver earrings but not hoops or anything long. I think I'd leave the wrists bare because of the detail on the skirt of the dress. I think less is more here. Black shoes and bag will be spot on.

    It is a gorgeous dress.

    I think to keep it looking summery and fresh I would pair it with a coral shoe, I think that would look fab and really compliment the detail on the bottom of the dress. If you do go with that shoe you should keep accessorise to a minimum and just let the outfit do the talking.

    Fab dress, I just found it on amazon too!! Can you tell me if the sizes are true to size? Or if you would consider it be a small fit or a large fit?
    Thanks!

    I'm a 12-14, and on the tall side, I went for the XL and it fits perfectly. I tried the large on in the shop and it was much too short (for a wedding) and I could see my underwear through the material... Hope this helps!

    I see what you mean, but I'm going for a film noir look hair and make up wise so think its best to stick to black shoes and bag:o

    Beautiful Dress, I love it!!

    There is quite a lot going on in the base of the dress so I would keep it simple. I think either a simple silver necklace or it could look really nice if you did a delicate updo with a drop earring. Maybe something along these lines http://www.libertyinlove.co.uk/tiffany-vintage-pearl-drop-earrings.html

    Maybe with something like this http://media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/originals/52/2c/29/522c29775068e13491e6dcda81f62dfd.jpg

    Hi,
    i can't post links cause I'm a newby, but if you go to the newlook website and got to handbags and then clutches they have some really lovely embellished clutches, I reckon you'll find one there that will compliment this dress,
    Helga
